* Since Inha Univ. Hospital is General Hospital that is very expensive and requires the highest amount of deductibles (KRW 20,000), students are strongly encouraged to go to smaller hospitals or clinics first if their symptoms are not serious. If you feel you are sick, go to the nearest clinic in your neighborhood first, and if the doctor says that you need to go to a bigger hospital, then you may want to visit a general hospital. For maps and contact information of the hospitals and pharmacies near the campus, please check the last pages of this guide.
